This is another of my fast; simple; cheap; healthy and most importantly delicious recipes!
Pumpkin seed tahini is another product, same as sunflower seed butter– that is very expensive in shops but can be easily made at home:) I have walked pass it many times, curious, tempted but totally put off by its price.
So, the day has come that I finally decided to try making it myself. It took me less than 30 minutes, and the result was absolutely mouthwatering:)
Recipe:
- 3 cups of raw pumpkin seeds (amount depends on how much ‘tahini’ butter you want to make)
- 1/4 cup of oil ( canola, olive, rice bran, linseed or any other oil you want to use- this amount is for a runny ‘tahini’, if you like it less runny reduce the amount of oil)
- Pinch of salt (sea salt, Himalayan salt or normal salt- this one is optional as well)
Steps:
- Roast pumpkin seeds on a frying pan and let them cool down. Make sure you stand over it and mix it constantly to avoid burning the seeds.
- Add salt.
- Put roasted pumpkin seeds in your food processor, add desired amount of oil and mix until you get buttery texture.
- Pour it into a container and enjoy 🙂
